Sorry that wasn't meant to be negative, but in a community you cant say we,
and mean solely Christian standpoints, it is so commercialized (fat dude
breaks into houses) but still you must at least acknowledge the others, and
in a community where everyone has their own beliefs decorating the world
with Christmas only things would be horrid, and a little biggotist.
im not biased, but just acknowledge existence and don't try to justify your
meanings by knocking others.
its be great if awi decorated, snow, wreathes trees Santa's, stars of David,
nativities, menorahs, and all things would be gladfully accepted in
spreading joy in such a pitiful time. but the way you said it you came off
as "Christians celebrate Christmas and everyone else does too" is what you
came off like.
but enough about that.
decorate away awi, I look forward to it

fun games, NTT, dance contest, And a what show on r/l TVis this picture

Have you heard of the golden rule?
M A T T may be doing crap to us, but c'mon its the golden rule treat others
like you would like to be treated, and u guys are mean towards him, so he
strikes back, he says its cuz aw took his cit away, now that was the first
thing, then the response he got from people for doing it, he doesn't want
the attention he wants vengeance, I know the feeling, I don't act towards
it, but still people on aw can be and are mean...not all of them...just
some.
This doesn't mean im m a t t's best friend, this is a thought that maybe you
will all read and realize just how mean most of you are.

made fun of me, I went out and stole a cit, i'd have a billion cits right
now, but ya know what, aw isn't fun without people, wow I could buy a
billion cites but id be the only one left here. not to mention its an over
reaction to be blatant about it.

yup theres a running theory im working on out of boredom during mathematics
class.
if you have a 3 with a line over it (3 repeating) it means 3 forever, but
what if you wrote 3 repeating then a 4 after it that means 3 goes on forever
but at the end of it it carries along a 4, so that this 4 is carried by the
3 but is according to mathematics impossible and non existent, so what if I
wanted to have 3(rep) 4 that means 3...4 right heh heh.
might be used to figure something out don't know what

I think itd be awesome if aw made a boxed edition of activeworlds sold
it for like 70 bucks or something have some awesome screenshots, nice
foldout flap describing it, and have a year cit with it. Like they enter an
activation code from the box when they buy or something.
it would get allot more of the reallife gamers onto aw, make them a profit
also maybe sell timecards too like everquest, or other online games where u
can buy them for time :-)
just an idea, any opinions? positive or negative?
